Alright, so I took another look at the US Tank Destroyer tree, and I think many of us overlooked something. Tier 8 is rather odd - there are two branches, with the final tanks being the T95 and the T30 at Tier 9.

But what leads to those tanks (respectively) is the T28... and the T28 Prototype.

Say WHAT?!

What's the difference between the two?! We already have the same tank twice, with the main differences between the T28 and the T95 being additional armor plating, improved suspension, and a bigger gun of course. Upon retrospect, the upgrades may do well in distinguishing the two apart form one another. At least, more so than the T29 series, in my opinion.

But what room is left with a THIRD T28? I can only imagine that there aren't very many strings left to pull in making the T28 Prototype a tank of its own.

Here's whats really funny. The T28/95 is one tank. It was simply renamed. There is one model-type, one concept tank. Here it has been spread into three tanks: The T28, T28 Prototype, and T95 are all the same tank but the two T28's have had one track chopped off and the developers made some original changes based on their own imagination.

I am not that much of a purest and it doesn't bother me. I like how they are making this turret/no turret tech tree split on the US TD's. It just makes sense considering the importance the US put on TD's in WW2.

Seriously though, it's funny how people complain about how the T28's horrible armor doesn't work at all because of how small the working area is and how big that lower plate is, yet their answer is "history!" Yet, there's no history behind it at all. They just lied about it, outright. Now a T28 prototype. There was no such thing. And it will probably be even worse than the already miserable T28. What will they do to this one? Have its gun facing out its ass?

That makes sense. At least it has a turret (so it fits into the tech line it's in) and that turret is limited by something realistic this time (the raised engine block it seems) rather than the GW Panther which is prevented from being a 360 degree turret by an absurdly placed antenna and skirts around the turret that were designed to fold down but not really in this game.

I just realized. When that guy posted that (Early May), none of the E series, American TDs, and many other paper project tanks had entered the game. So yea, at the time. He was pretty close to right *cough*russianarty*cough*
